1. **To Ajah/Abraham Adesanya:** First, you'll need to get a bus heading towards Ajah or Abraham Adesanya Estate. From places like Oshodi, Ikeja (Maryland/Ojota), or Berger, you can find direct buses or take a bus to CMS/Obalende and then connect.
2. **From Ajah to Lakowe:** Once you get to Ajah (specifically, the Ajah bus stop or Abraham Adesanya), you'll need to change buses. Look for smaller buses (danfo) or shared taxis (popularly called "korope") heading towards Epe. Lakowe is a prominent stop along this route. You'll pass areas like Abraham Adesanya, Awoyaya, and Bogije before reaching Lakowe.

Key landmarks to watch out for on your approach to Lakowe include the Lakowe Lakes Golf & Country Estate, Amen Estate, and various new residential developments.

From Lekki Phase 1 / Victoria Island / Ikoyi

Travelers from these Island areas have a more direct route:

1. **Direct Route:** Head onto the Lekki-Epe Expressway, going past the Toll Gates, Chevron, VGC, Ajah, and Awoyaya.
2. **Public Transport:** From Lekki Phase 1, you can find buses or shared taxis heading towards Ajah or directly towards Epe. If you find one going towards Epe, ensure it will drop you at Lakowe. Otherwise, take a bus to Ajah and then follow the steps mentioned above (Ajah to Lakowe).

The journey along the Lekki-Epe Expressway can be lengthy, especially during peak traffic hours, so planning your travel time is essential.

• **CMS/TBS (Lagos Island):** If you're on the Island, CMS or Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) are major departure points for buses heading towards Ajah.

Always look for vehicles with "Epe" or "Eleko" written on them, as Lakowe is a stop along that route. Make sure to confirm with the conductor or driver that they are going to Lakowe before boarding.
